Abstract
A versatile method to fabricate self-supported aerogels of nanoparticle (NP) building blocks is presented. This approach is based on freezing colloidal NPs and subsequent freeze drying. This means that the colloidal NPs are directly transferred into dry aerogel-like monolithic superstructures without previous lyogelation as would be the case for conventional aerogel and cryogel fabrication methods. The assembly process, based on a physical concept, is highly versatile: cryogelation is applicable for noble metal, metal oxide, and semiconductor NPs, and no impact of the surface chemistry or NP shape on the resulting morphology is observed. Under optimized conditions the shape and volume of the liquid equal those of the resulting aerogels. Also, we show that thin and homogeneous films of the material can be obtained. Furthermore, the physical properties of the aerogels are discussed. A versatile method to fabricate self-supported porous monoliths of extremely low density consisting of nanoparticle (NP) building blocks is presented. Our approach is based on freezing and subsequent freeze drying of aqueous colloidal NPs. The assembly process is highly versatile: cryogelation is applicable for noble metal, metal oxide, and semiconductor NPs, and shaping of the aerogels is easily possible.
